Cyberoam recently concluded its Partner Summit 2014 for its East African partners in Kenya. Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa was chosen as the venue for the three day event which started on Dec 05th. The event attended by Cyberoam’s major partners in the region had a mix of fun-filled activities along with business and technology sessions.
During the event, Cyberoam awarded its regional partners for their sales performance and discussed its future roadmap and expansion strategy with them. The company has a strong channel presence in the region. There is tremendous scope for network security appliances in East Africa where new businesses are rapidly expanding their infrastructure. Being a high growth market, the region holds major importance for Cyberoam.
“It was a great experience, we had some massively invigorating and informative sessions during this event. It must be said that we now have a better outlook on future of networks in Africa. Cyberoam is already known for its channel focussed initiatives and events like these will further increase its following among partners” commented Mr. Maloo, MD Mart Networks Cyberoam Distributor for Kenya and Tanzania
Cyberoam has an extensive program for its partners covering technical trainings and certifications along with marketing and sales support. To stimulate partner performance the company also offers attractive incentives and reward offers from time to time.
Mr. Kalpesh Maheshwari, Cyberoam country manager for Tanzania commented that “We are committed to deliver a future ready security portfolio which offers perfect fit for organisations of all sizes, and in meeting this commitment our partners play a crucial role. Thus, it is of prime importance that we remain on the same page. Partner Summits provide us the much needed opportunity to interact with our partners face-to-face. Although, we are constantly involved with our partners throughout the year, it is events like these which set the tone for future.”
The network security market growth in East Africa is primarily driven by rise of financial services, retail and telecommunications sectors along with regulatory requirements such as those set by Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). With increasing severity of malwares and phishing attacks, established businesses are also forced to revisit their security posture. Also, the uptake in the government sectors is expected to increase as some regions have seen major political developments in the recent times. Cyberoam will be looking forward to make most of these opportunities.
With presence in more than 125+ countries worldwide, Cyberoam is a network security vendor that specifically caters to a critical need of organizations – identifying users in the network – which gives it an edge in the network security market across the globe. Recognised as leading innovator in the network security market, Cyberoam’s comprehensive security solutions successfully empower businesses across all verticals.
